ABIGAIL: Intercourse & Lust Vinyl LP

Japanese black metal has always operated on its own frequency, equal parts reverence and derangement, and Abigail are the band that proved the country could out-filth the Norwegians at their own game.

Released in 1996 and now something of a cult artefact in the underground, Intercourse & Lust is sleazy, lo-fi, blackened speed metal that sits somewhere between early Venom, Motörhead at their most depraved, and a pub fight at 3am. This limited reissue comes pressed on 'Octopussy' coloured vinyl because of course it does. It looks exactly as unhinged as it sounds, and it belongs in a collection that takes the dark aesthetic seriously.
